Comic-Con is here and we knew we would see more out of DC, especially with them being on the verge of starting up their own streaming service. One highlight of that service was Titans, a live action show of the DC superheroes Teen Titans.

I have to admit I didn’t know what to think of that trailer. It was like DC was looking for that shock and awe factor to say that they can do what Marvel is doing over on Netflix. It’s just to me seem like a show that could go off the rails quick as they are more trying to show that they can be dark and edgy. And frankly I do not think this show needs to do that.

One of the best shows of this year has been Black Lightning. It managed to find a way to tell a story while grounding the show in somewhat reality. Now I am not expecting a show about heroes to be “realistic”. I just am not sure if the direction is more about showing how dark they can be versus telling great stories.

We will have to wait for the show to give a full review. But for right now the trailer didn’t excite me about the Titan’s show.
